The real local fastfood chain. Ayamku serves basic fried chicken, but with a distinct “Bornean” twist, served with rice and sidings such as fiery red “sambal” and peanuts,  though you could also elect to have your chicken “western-style”, with fries. It’s nothing really special, but if you are looking for a quick hunger relief after a hot, tiring day (and it does get HOT in Brunei), then Ayamku is a safe choice. And, being a popular local chain, I don’t think you’d have trouble finding an outlet.

4.Lee Loi fatt

Lee Loi Fatt is definitely a Bruneian staple… Growing up, it was always “Rojak” from Kuala Belait that is popular. Rojak is a slang meaning “a mix of everything”. Foodwise, it is just a variety of veggies/deep fried seafood/cuttlefish/deep fried tofu with a shrimp black sweet sauce & some hot sauce. Hard to describe tastewise – simply put: it is pretty darn good taste.

The Top 5 Food in Brunei


Trying to find the famous food in Brunei? Here we will share with you the top 5 food in Brunei.

1. Ambuyat :


The Ambuyat is one of Brunei’s national food treasures. It’s unique texture glue goo like with no taste, but the trick is to dip it with the sauce (known as cacah) and it will give a different taste and swallowing it whole. These Ambuyat are made from Sago. These Sago are found in the Rumbia tree or sago tree. It’s a starchy bland substance, similar to tapioca starch. While the sauce or cacah are made from local fruits known as binjai or pidada or from fermented shrimps known locally as cencalu. Normally the cacah is sour but may be added in with chillies for those who like it hot or more chillies to make it hotter.


2. Kuih Bahulu : 

Bahulu cakes are the most versetile traditional cake that can be made. It can be use for breakfast, hi-tea in the afternoon, served as appetizer or dessert during family gathering. The Bahulu cakes is a sponge mini cake best serve with hot beverages. 


3. Nasi Katok :

History:
Why do we it "Nasi Katok''? The reason why the name “Nasi Katok” derived from this family who lived in Ong Sum Ping who sell these so-called nasi bungkus meal only at night time. Why Katok? Translating the word “katok”, as above, is knock. This means that people who wanted to buy this nasi katok has to knock on the door and then make their order. This Ong Sum Ping resident is the pioneers of the ever growing Nasi Katok outlets in Brunei. 
 
Development:
Nasi Katok has gain its popularity over these past months. Until today, you can find at least one Nasi Katok outlet in every area. A few of those who are successful in this business managed to open up another branch elsewhere. I am quite amazed by their hardwork in filling up the tummies of Bruneians (and foreigners). 


4. Pulut panggang :
 

Pulut panggang literally translate to English as "Grilled Glutinous Rice in Banana Leaves". It  is made with pulut rice, grated coconut, dried prawns, coriander and belacan. almost the same as Kelupis but the pulut panggang is cooked grilled instead of steamed. this delicious Malay kuih wrapped in banana leaves. Before the pulut panggang is available in the Brunei-Muara district, customers who want to have the pulut panggang they have to visit the coffee shop in Tutong and enjoy their snack with a cup of hot tea or coffee while the local community gathers for their meal and conversations.



Mei Fang Coffee Shop, located along Jalan Enchi Awang in Jalan Tutong, is considered a food landmark due to its most popular product, the pulut panggang. The couple started making and selling pulut panggang along the riverbank in a wooden house before they moved to the shoplot on Jalan Enchi Awang. Back then, the couple used to average about 100 pulut panggang a day. Today the cafe averages 400 pulut panggang a day with each piece selling for $0.60. The snack is normally sold out by 11am.
 



5. Cendol



Every year Puasa the time we can easily see people selling the Cendol on the road side or garai there. Cendol is made in a variety of ways, cendol almost always consists of green, chewy, jelly-like noodles mixed with coconut cream, palm syrup and best serve while it is cold. Worm-shaped noodles that look like squiggly bumps and bulges are the main ingredient in the dish. The glutinous noodles are formed from mung bean, also called pea flour, as well as rice flour, with a little tapioca added. The green coloring and distinctive vanilla flavor comes from the leaves of the pandan plant.

it is the syrup, known as gula in Malay, that gives the dessert its distinctive and sweet taste. 



This simple syrup is created from palm sugar and water that is cooked until it turns thick and brown. Although other sugars and sweeteners can be used, many cendol lovers say that the rich and complex flavors of the palm gula are what make this dessert special. Cendol is served in a bowl or large glass with the noodles, syrup, coconut cream and shaved ice. Additional ingredients, such as sweet red beans or creamed corn, can be added for variety.



After so many years about this Temburong Cendol and I finally got a bit story behind it. One of my neighbour yesterday he bring us this Temburong Cendol really from Temburong one. He almost everyday went to Temburong coz he got a business over there(potong kayu) He told us this is the real Temburong Cendol. He only selling his cendol during Ramadhan. My neighbour he told me where is the Haji selling this but still I don't know where is it coz I'm only been there for one time in my lift.
